A member of the Boko Haram sect has said that
they are against Western education because it
challenges the supremacy of Allah and most
aspects of Geography, Biology and Sociology
contradict the divine order which sees God as the source of all
being.
While being paraded at the headquarters of the Department of State
Service, DSS, in Abuja, 35-year-old Yasir Ibrahim Salihu, (a.k.a
Dan Birni), one of the suspected killers of Sheikh Auwal Adam
Albani and his wife and son said certain things in Western education
contradicts the very existence of Allah.
In his confessional statement, Salihu, a graduate of English Literature
from the Ahmadu Bello University, ABU), Zaria in Kaduna State
said he is a member of the Boko Haram which he joined in 2009 after
its late leader, Muhammad Yusuf visited Zaria to deliver a lecture.
He said the late Yusuf was against Western education because he said
it contradicted the Holy Quran, adding that the Darwin Theory of
Evolution contradicts the very existence of Allah, even as he described
sociologists as “free thinkers” who do not believe that there is God.
According to Salihu, ” in Geography, certain things are against the
existence of Allah. In Biology, you have the theory of evolution .
Sociology is about free thinkers too and they don’t believe in the
existence of Allah. So, all these made me kick against western
education .”
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubakar has,
however, assured that security agencies are working towards ensuring
the safety and security of students and academic institutions across the
country.
Is this a reason ?
